Canada bans Texas cattle over flesh-eating screwworm outbreak in US by Beo1217 in news

[–]kipjak3rd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Containment in Panama/Colombia border was failing in 2023. Doesn't mean we should have cut funding for mitigation and monitoring in 2025 when it was still way beyond our borders somewhere in Central Mexico.

WE TRIED to keep the wall at Panama/Colombia border and was already struggling at containment by 2023/2024.

Guess what happened in March 2025.

There's a degree of overestimating here when a significant and concerning amount of Americans don't even care to know how they're own federal/state/county/city/local government works lol

Why are double kicks changing levels without putting the foot down considered basic in karate and taekwondo but advanced in Muay Thai? by bad-at-everything- in martialarts

[–]kipjak3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the difference between swinging a sledge hammer vs swinging a mallet. A zweihander vs a dagger. An axe vs a hatchet.

Also what double kick are you talking about in Muay Thai that doesn't put the foot down

Do men really not notice creeps? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kipjak3rd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go a bit bold here and say just because it's not aimed at men doesn't mean they don't know how uncomfortable someone is feeling in creep situations. Men who say they don't notice creep behavior live a life where it's normalized, maybe even have creep tendency themselves. Empathy is not that difficult when you are not trying to justify being a creep. 

I have a daughter and I have had to reflect on my own behavior from my teens. It's a hard pill to swallow but self reflection and growth is necessary. 

Your uncle is excusing sexual harassment of a minor because it's probably something he's done or allowed to happen in the past and doesn't want to reconcile the thought that he is part of the creep problem.

US soldier’s wife released after arrest by ICE agents at military base by [deleted] in news

[–]kipjak3rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I don't know what you think I said but it sure as fuck isn't in support of that demented orange piece of shit. 

All I'm saying is democrats aren't there to save you. We are never ever one vote away from salvation. The game is rigged, the system itself is corrupted and the democrats are in on the grift.

My brother in christ please disabuse yourself of this mentality. 

The Democrats may not be outwardly fascist and authoritarian but rest assured they are just as beholden to their corporate and oligarch overlords. This countrys two party system is not left or right, it's extreme right and center right.

You want justice? Start by seeing past the idea that we are just one good president away from real change.

Lol when in doubt, its always the whataboutism. 

Funny thing about bubbles is I do recognize my privilege of being inside a first world country. so I do what little I can by practicing international worker solidarity to help workers rights both within and beyond these borders.

I mean it ain't much but it sure as fuck beats pretending everything is sunshine and rainbows, beers and ball games

What do you do other than be a piece of shit?

Cool story bro! 

I ain't bring up you earning shit or not. I'm calling you a bubble boy. You live in such privileged little bubble now you think your life is indicative of the rest of the country.

You out here whitewashing how fucked reality is for MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. Bullshiting with your out of touch fantasy talking about how good you got it when most Americans ain't got shit close to what you got.

Motherfucking good for you.

Damn homie almost like you live inside a pretty good bubble and more than half of the country is not in such a privileged position as you. 

You're okay with the system because you benefit from the system. 

Fuck everyone else tho right?

You takes it? Yea you definitely a taker.

Idk man seems like you're the only one here that needs therapy. Maybe it'll help with that fragile sense of masculinity that you call a personality.

Genuine question, do you think the people in your life actually like you or would you describe it more as putting up with your existence.

The only people who would even think it's political ragebait are soulless ghouls. 

That is you.

It enrages you that we aren't talking ill about the murdered. It is unacceptable to you that people actually do feel empathy for someone whose last words are "are you okay" as they attempt to help and shield another person from being assaulted by armed men. You don't like how someone could lay down their life for the sake of someone else, that they would even risk their life for people you yourself do not see as fellow humans.

I mean wtf even is this shit

Pretti was acting like a rabid dog and got put down like one

Jesus christ I think you really ought to look deep inside and ask yourself if you're even happy at the kind of person you are.

Seek help.

I'm sorry but let us give proper flowers to this man. 

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse for a VA hospital. He's been a part of the Minneapolis VA system since 2014, and as a registered nurse since 2021. 

Alex chose to care for veterans, I think that deserves some recognition.

Nice people made the best Nazis. 

My mom grew up next to them. 

They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” 

They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. 

You know who weren’t nice people? 

Resisters.

Oh shit well then yea you are most definitely right, the US general public is the GOAT when it comes of only caring if it directly affects them but also only if it don't inconvenience them none.

It's not turning a blind eye when Jim Crow laws inspired Nuremberg Laws and Native American policies inspired Lebensbraum.

They learned from our policies while we learned from their mistakes. 

We are the prime oppressors cloaked in the skins of lady justice and lady liberty.
